Patient Experience
As a 58-year-old retired teacher with severe osteoarthritis, my weight of 145kg made every step agony. Dr. Şeyda didn't just see me as a surgical candidate—she coordinated with rheumatology to create a comprehensive plan. My sleeve gastrectomy was just the beginning; she monitored my inflammation markers post-op, and today I walk pain-free at 85kg, gardening daily with my grandchildren.
My 17-year-old son developed life-threatening sleep apnea at 132kg despite every diet. Pediatric bariatric options were limited until we met Dr. Şeyda. She pioneered a modified gastric bypass that preserved his nutritional growth needs while addressing metabolic syndrome. His apnea vanished in weeks, and he's now a thriving university freshman studying environmental science.
After surviving a rare abdominal tumor resection, I developed severe adhesions and regained all my lost weight. Multiple surgeons refused me due to complexity. Dr. Şeyda spent months planning my revisional surgery using 3D imaging to navigate scar tissue. Her meticulous approach gave me back my life at 42—I've maintained 70kg loss for three years.
As a Turkish expat returning from Germany specifically for treatment, I needed multilingual coordination. Dr. Şeyda's team handled everything—from international records transfer to post-op telehealth across time zones. My duodenal switch procedure was flawless, and her follow-up care bridged two healthcare systems perfectly.
